More! Give Me More!

OpenOffice.org comes with a limited number of templates, graphics, and icons. The fuller complement of these that comes with its commercial (nonfree) cousin, StarOffice from Sun Microsystems, is one of the advantages of StarOffice. However, if you find yourself in need of more templates or a richer gallery than you already have, take careful note of the following Web site. It's called OO Extras, and it may be the answer to your prayers:

In addition to individual macros, icons, and templates, the goal of this Web site (created by Travis Bauer) is to provide downloadable packages to enhance OpenOffice.org's suite. As of March 2005, the download bundle contained some 200 different templates. It's well worth a look.
